If you like poo talk, you're in for a treat. 20 minutes of LFF's poo situation and how his dogs poop. Great. Also, who feeds an obese pug (not a reference to LFF) 2 fried eggs for breakfast?

I noticed the same thing. He had no idea what they talked about.
I constantly find new things about these stupid fucks to shake my head at.
clearly that would take too much effort...first he would have to open the app, then he would have to push play...He was resting up for Reno for God's sake!

No god damn it, no. You and everyone else needs to erase that phrase "low self exteem" from your vocabulary.
THE PROBLEM IS EXCESSIVELY HIGH SELF-ESTEEM. EVERY TRIP OF THE TRAIN.
Glad you got that one Blobb, with the new job it would have been Friday before I could have done it. It definitely sounds like stink on your clip. So why did Tom Miranda get kicked from the klub? Couldn't someone there have done that just as easily? He probably would have admitted his mistake.
The klub must have all heard it like he did too, because there was no argument, just a quick delete and kick out. Don't investigate, Cover up and hide it, just like the crew does.
I haven't listened in over a month and I'm listening to today's abortion and I'm soooooo glad I haven't listened. And when I say abortion I mean this show is as enjoyable as a bloody dismembered dead fetus. Just so we're clear.

This was settled earlier today. (see .mp3 and discussion on page 490)
He said "stink".

Once again, Spewak demonstrated today he's too afraid to correct Mike. Mike said Beluga left two piles of shit outside. Spewak asked if they were discrete piles, but it soon became apparent Mike doesn't know the difference between "discrete" and "discreet," as he said something like no, they were anything but discreet.
The only reason I even bother to mention it is we all recall how Mike used to wave his AU degree at Buzz...

You know, I'm going to be honest here...I thought he said Booo-urns
Listened to the food remark several times and I'm certain he said "stink food". Nonetheless, I was listening to hear the guys take on CAT, an event they promoted for months, not to hear Mike bitch about his plane flight ad nauseum.
Hundreds of people paid good money to cone to CAT and I'm sure they wanted to hear those stories, not have him whine on and on.
nice little dig at robbbbbbbb on don's podcast today.
don played the clip from the don and mike show when he says bullshit.
somebody twitted who was that fat loser backstabber on that clip and don said yes i think that was robb spewak
Kinda odd that they won't talk about the actual show.
Even the typical self congratulatory "The crowd loved us", "We were the funniest thing to hit Reno since our last appearance", "Mike, you were awesome!",etc...
or did I miss it?

Wow. The real comedian fails to show, so they throw Jimmy out there? Holy fuck! Yes, it's only $40 for the show, but if you flew out there or paid for a hotel room...WTF? Why not just throw Rob(b) out there. At least he would feed off the extra attention.
With all the "air quotes", is there a chance Jimmy was the opener from the start? I knew we should have hired a hobo with google glass to record the show.

I assumed they couldn't find anybody else to open for free, but I like your theory better
So Jimmy runs a successful bar? And Mike did not...
I don't know what to make of Jimmy. .
Why does he like Mike? Because he's fucking Carla? I hope so only because I want Carla to get her FUCK on with a guy who doesn't look like an ashed out shadow of himself. Shhhhh Jimmy. ..hide behind the couch..Mike's colostomy bag is full.
Jimmy: my new celebrity shooter!
Mike's colostomy bag...
Meanwhile. ..Carla empties Mike's colostomy bag and mutters: "I could be fucking RG3....sigh"

Less than free, Jimmy probably paid for his airfare and hotel room.
As someone who regularly lurks both here (since #TMOS1000)and in the klub, I can note that Tim Miranda's been poking the bear for a few days. This was just the last straw for them. I'm kind of surprised it took this long.
Best part Jimmy won 500 bux on his way outta town. You can spend tons of dough in reno or vegas but if you hit on the way out of town your a winner and Mike hates winners and their stinky food. ..
I'd hate Jimmy simply because his breath smells like my wife's pussy...

At least we know yet another reason why they didn't tape the show.
Someone above mentioned it, odd that they haven't really touched on what the bulk of the show was...? Wouldn't you think they would go through the show bit by bit and recap? Its not like they really expected anyone from the east coast (the bulk of listeners) to travel there. Nor was it recorded for a later listen (DVD/audio podcast, etc...).
What's the big fucking secret?
I can only imagine that it sucked.

On to the Big Easy in '16! Mike's Colostomy Tour continues.
Oh, and to translate Mike's terminology for any newbies, when he describes the TMOS stage show as "organic," it means "lack of prep;" TMOS trusts the audience will help out or just not care.

And Rob(b) pokes his head in twice before you hit the 3 min. mark? (I stopped at that point, couldn't take any more). The big Blobb ***loves*** the spotlight!!
Great production values on the vid tho - shaky cam, cheap Oncor and O'Meara "banners", looks like all the low expectations were met!
in jimmy's defense, that's not really his thing. i'm more curious to know what happened to the original dude. i'm sure we'll find out the TRUTH any day now! ;-)
There was another picture of the room to get an idea of the size. Almost no mention of actual content from the show. I guess there was another slide show? And a DJ, and a trivia game.

I'll second that... jhop, have you heard the Serial parodies? Nothing knee slapping funny, but they definitely get the tone and rhythm right.
So they listen to a guy play music off his itunes account? Stupid klubbers, how come LPS not "DJ" we know he sucks but why hire a dj when you got one who plays one in his basement?

I know the different meanings but wasn't aware of the different spelling, thanks!
What a person with any tact would have done after being "accused" of being a racist would be the exact opposite of what Mike did today. You don't spend 20 minutes talking about your mom and Obama trying to prove to everyone how not racist you are. That over the top pandering is so gross. Hey should have spent 30 seconds on the subject max.

I suppose he was feeling guilty because he called the fellow Manuel
Did anybody catch what happened on today's show? Mike spent the first 20 minutes talking about how he isn't racist but at 35:46 he says "I fucking hate niggers". This man is out of control.
Best quote from the Klub quips above "...the meet and greet was a bit sterile...but I guess that's to be expected...".
So even the Klubbers don't expect much from O'Meara, and why should they? He just sees them as dopes willing to fund his entertainment 'empire' - so the most they get is probably a nod, "Hi", and a scribbled autograph on a Cat 2014 flyer.
Geez, life is way too short to waste on fawning over a 'celebrity' who doesn't give a shit if you live or die just as long as you support him.
O'Meara must think he's the fat, white version of Tiger Woods, a world-class fan hater and money counter (and from all reports, a very bad tipper!).
If you look at the photos, they had one screen up, not two. There is a reverse shot of Rob(b) and Mike with the audience in the background. You can see blank walls with seams...air walls. Not the solid patterned wall in this photo. Also, lots of empty seats in the show shots and a photographer standing halfway in the room in the middle of where some seats SHOULD be. I bet there were no seats set up in the back half of the room.
Once again, Fat Drunk Baby talks about how we here are unhappy with our own lives because that's the only possible explanation, it's not possible that the show sucks major ass.
When is he going to die? He clearly reads this site. So, Mike O'Meara, I wish death on you. Not only that, I wish death on your infant son and your aged mother. Carla's irrelevant. Let her get her FUCK on, should make a nice change of pace.
Of course a wish isn't actionable at law, so fuck you and your pussy open from today's show.
Good of you to say you're not going to take legal action (because you can't).
What a pussy. You say you're not a racist on the "radio" but you are when you are driving. Get a chair and a rope and an overhanging pipe and just end it. Because I "get it". You fag. Stupidest tagline EVER.
Your Harley is silly.
Your "biker"/fag vest is silly.
When can we expect to see you at Arlington Cemetary again, yelling at people who actually have a reason and a right to be there?
We're starting a pool on whether Fatt Rob is going to just die or explode first, with side bets on which of his children will kill him.
Horny Bob Spewak needs to move into a house with a gas oven, head first.
I find it amazing when Mike says that it's not racist when you scream racial epithets while you are by yourself in a car and angry at another driver. He has talked about this on the show in the past saying that "everyone does it". Excuse me, but everyone does NOT do this Mike and when you do you are definitely a racist. End of story.
So did Mike actually address this on the show today? Two days after it was brought up, and a full day after it had been resolved in his favor? What an amazing amount of timeliness. I even edited my first post about it adding that I had heard the word wrong originally. What a moron, making an issue out of something after it's become nothing. Must have been Rob's idea.
And in defense of the Reno show, you can clearly see both walls and screens in the pictures that FHC posted above, so they were using the whole room. I'm not saying their crowd numbers are right, just that they did have both parts of the room.
So from Mike's explanation, the crew find out about the "controversy" because Rob Ford and Pony were discussing it when everyone else came in. So I guess we know those two come here too, then they "investigate" by finding the pic of Tim's post here, and assume he got the original idea here and blames it on this thread. Mike then proceeds to ramble on about not speaking to people who use racial slurs, then admits to using them when he drives. Then he says having a TMOS hate group would be great, but he doesn't want "those people" on the fan page. Oh, and Tim is sure lucky Mike doesn't feel like suing him.
Did I miss anything?

Mike may not have said "spic," but he said "Manuel" and "stink food." Not as bad as "spic," but still open to interpretation as racist. Oh, and all Failcast episodes will be discoverable as part of a lawsuit, so all Chinamen references, Mexican music when Oscar is on, Ronic "cheap" jokes? Yeah, good luck with your suit, Mike.
They seem to have had Mandalay Ballroom A, not the full room opened up, which is A and the smaller B. Not that it's important. No way would they have thought they could fill and hence comit to a 900 capacity room. Conga line with 600 people? Uh, nope.
Tons of empty seats and no shots from the stage that show the full room. Does anyone think if TMOS had a room packed full of people they wouldn't take pictures of it from the stage just as an "f-you" to us? They didn't because the back half of the room was empty (conga, anyone?) and there were tons of empty seats in the front. Am I wrong? Prove me wrong, Mike. Post the fucking photos.

I've been a fan of Don and Mike since 5th grade and gave TMOS a chance. I paid for content 3+ years. Honestly, I'm disappointed in the way things have turned out. I think there is still some potential, but this is a rudderless ship headed towards an iceberg. The band will keep playing, and now it's more entertaining to listen for inconsistencies and half-truths than to drink the diabetic Kool-Aid and "get it". It's like a more ironic Welcome to Night Vale. And Mike's (LFF in our jargon) insistence that we are all miserable people is far from the truth. From what we've seen on the Klubber page, the high point of Cat 2014 had nothing to do with TMOS, it was talking with people who shared the same point of view and had common reference points. The TMOS Fan Club is like the Bizzaro FFXU TMOS thread. Different sides of the same coin.
Listened to the LFF's rant...Wow, booze really addled his mind. He said he doesn't use slurs on his show or in his life. Unless he is in a car...Unless the story is about an Asian person...
Would somebody with klub access post something about:
"No slurs? Really #TMOS, every time the story has an Asian slant to it, LPS says 'chinaman', which is offensive"
The LFF is a pretty boring guy now. He crawled out of FLA, got angry over some Latinos on his plane. Did the show, Carla was there in full hawk / jailer mode. The LFF couldn't get drunk, gamble, hit on girls.
So what the fuck does he have to talk about? He is an old man that his wife clipped his wings.
LPS couldn't possible soak up enough attention from the fans. So, nothing interesting about some fat, middle aged people getting drunk.
Oscar didn't want to be there / handled the business.
If they had a good amount of people, Oscar wouldn't say things like, "We have to see what the numbers are" when referring to the Reno show's $$$ outcome.

I disagree. TMOS knew the ticket sales before hand. Therefore, he was talking about something that had a moving part, which is likely booze sales and what TMOS spent at the casino
The TMOS puzzle is getting less and less interesting.
If we go with LPS's number 40k downloads, which let's assume 100% adoption and $100 / month spent at AMZ, this give us an upper bound of $28M
Which clearly isn't the case.
I assume the LFF's ire toward his fans comes from him expecting to get WJFK $ from the podcast, which didn't happen.
But, it was enough $ to keep him doing it when he was on the Edge. So, I think this nugget is the fact to cling to. LPS doesn't have an opportunity cost above min wage. So, his desires don't matter here. Oscar, on the other hand, can make $ and has his other show, but I think he is enough of a starfucker that he'd forego making more $ in lieu of sitting next to a "radio god". So, thinking about Oscar max;ing his earnings, I don't think is a valid line of thought wrt TMOS.
Therefore, focus on why the LFF would do TMOS when he had a "real" radio gig.
1) He wanted to do "guy talk". It is easy, no prep, he just gets to run his stupid mouth without having to back anything up/
2) He wanted to stay on the air. Many, many times in the first year, the TMOS krew said something about the podcast being their calling card
3) Likely the podcast was shopped around to various places. So, in addition to KCJJ, the idiots kept it radio friendly and commercial breaks because they want to syndicate it
Ok, so the LFF has other reason (beside $ to do TMOS). If you search around for the DC market, you'll see that WHFS paid people around $27k to do night.
Let's say that the LFF was making $150k (5x a nobody on nights) at the Edge, which was likely 10% of what he got during the D&M days, hence janitor wages.
that is $75/hour.
Let's assume the LFF is smart enough to understand that figure. If it spends 2 hours per day per show $36k

After calling this moron out for posting in that abortion Megan Toohey thread, he changes it up by actually using a name instead of using the spam code thing as his name. He didn't cover up his overuse of exclamation points and retarded sentence structure however.
So again sir, who the fuck are you to criticize people here while you talk shit about a random, non-famous girl on this very forum? Such a fucking hypocrite. I say this from the bottom of my heart, kill yourself faggot.

Who the hell uses the phrase "stink food"? I've listened several times, and I'm convinced that he did in fact say "spic food".
